You will need to do the following things:
  1. Get a String of input from the user.
  2. Depending on whether the input is valid, announce the number's value; otherwise, let the user know it is bad input.
  3. Write a method to verify whether or not the user's input string is valid.
  4. Write a method to calculate the value of the user's input string.
Note that because of user input, the output will look different each time you run the program.

Program output examples:

Enter a valid binary number up to 60 digits long:
101010101010101
You entered 21845

Enter a valid binary number up to 60 digits long:
1101010001
You entered 849

Enter a valid binary number up to 60 digits long:
10101010130011
Bad input!
